A The Chrysanthemum Chronicles Series Story
A Room Somewhere In The Rainbow Springs Palace
Rainbow Springs, Moon Kingdom, Moon
December 5, 986
They did so, after they were as sure as they could currently be that nobody else would bother
them for at least a little while, if not longer, of course. Serena was eventually the first of the two
young Princesses to speak, and she soon asked, "What's on your mind, Sylvia?"
"Boys, Serena. Boys, as a matter of fact."
"What about them?"
"I'm missing Rolando, and maybe even someone you really like a whole lot, Serena."
"Darien?"
"Of course I mean him, Serena. Who else do you know from the Earth well enough besides
him, when it comes to males from my world?"
"Nobody, I suppose, Sylvia. I don't know Rolando as well as you do, I believe, but I'm
reasonably sure that isn't the case so much for me and Darien, of course."
"Because you've known him for most, if not all, of your life?"
"Yes, because that's the case, I'm saying that I'm reasonably sure that isn't the case so much
for me and Darien. I'm going to marry him someday, I think. Though even I don't yet know when
that day will be, and nobody else who's mortal in my life knows either, if it'll ever actually come to
pass, of course, Sylvia. Not even my dear honey Darien."
"And if you do actually marry him, as you think that you will?"
"Then I think that I'd probably not all that be surprised to have a daughter also named Serena,
but who is nicknamed 'Rini', Sylvia."
"And do you think that you and Darien would be good parents for Rini in the future?"
"I think so, or at least, I hope so. Darien won't likely be able to fight forever, for some reason
I'm not yet sure of, if I'll ever be sure of that reason. And if so, then others may have to fight to protect
our new Moon Kingdom, if we have a new Moon Kingdom to rule in the future. I don't know if I'll
be among those people that may have to fight. But I hope that nobody will have to fight again at least
once more in the future, after we have Rini. I realize that if we end up in the 20th Century, we'll likely
have to fight the Negaverse and other beings from elsewhere in the Universe. But I hope that isn't the
case for us, if we later end up in the 30th Century, whether on Earth or elsewhere in the known
Universe, as of that time period, Sylvia."
"And when do you expect to have Rini, if you ever do?"
"Perhaps sometime in the 30th Century, Sylvia, if we ever get there. I don't know if I'm
wrong, of course. But I still think that she'll be both conceived and born in the 30th Century,
somewhere in the general, if not the local, or immediate, area of Crystal Tokyo anywhere on Earth."
"Where do you think this Crystal Tokyo will be located on Earth?" asked Sylvia.
"You know where Darien's people are building up Edo, or at least a neighborhood near there?"
"Sure, I do know about that, Serena. What about it?"
"Well, I expect that it'll eventually be part of Edo, if it isn't already. And that Edo will change
its name to Tokyo. After a time, we may end up there, or at least some of us might, and we'll be there
for a time in the 20th Century, if not also at least some time in the 21st Century. After we do so, we
may eventually return to our containers for a time, so that we can eventually end up in the 30th
Century. I think that we may end up spending a long time in our canisters over the next two
millennia, if not longer than that. I think that Tokyo might also possibly be attacked by beings not
from the Negaverse while we're in our containers. And most, if not all, of it will be destroyed by a
super-powerful device of some kind. After a time, if such a thing ever happens, I suspect a new
Tokyo will eventually rise from the resulting ashes, if there are any ashes from its previous destruction
that last at least that long, by the time that we awake again from our sleeping in our containers. I
suspect that there's a very good possibility that all the things that'll be around in that area, when we're
in the 20th Century, will be destroyed in that attack, or at least most of them will be. By the 30th
Century, then, I think a new Tokyo will come into existence. And that particular Tokyo will be what
we might call Crystal Tokyo in the 30th Century. I suspect that after Crystal Tokyo comes into
existence, Crystal Tokyo will be the second-most important city in the world, after a New Jerusalem
comes into existence elsewhere on it. I think that by that time, Jesus Christ will finally come to rule
the entire Universe that God created so long ago."
"So you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?"
"Yes, I do. And I always will, I believe. I do see possible futures, though, that have many,
if not all, of us not being followers of His. And I don't know how they could come to pass, at least
not yet, if I ever will. I don't intend to find myself often in a Buddhist or Shinto shrine, in the future,
if ever. But some of the possible futures I've seen actually seem to suggest that I and so many others
often will be in them in the future."
"And you don't like that."
"Yes. I also see many bad people attacking quite a few people who are very close to me, in
such possible futures. Like my friends. And, for some reason I can't yet explain, if I'll ever be able
to explain, to anyone, I seem to often see a young girl named Molly in a number of my dreams and/or
visions."
"And what does this Molly look like?"
"About as tall as me, and maybe you, and with shoulder-length red hair, I think. She may be
my best friend in the future, or at least until I meet up with the other Princesses later, of course, if
we're separated for a time after we end up on Earth later. Supposing, of course, that we ever end up
there at all. I don't see you ending up in the same place that I do, though. Or at least not very often,
if you're transferred to the Earth at the same time we're being transferred to it after the end of the
Moon Kingdom, Sylvia."
"So you think that if we both somehow survive the transfer to Earth, I might possibly find
myself in a different zone of it than you might?"
"Yes, I do. And if so, I think I'll miss you, if I ever remember you at all later on."
"Me too, if that's also the case for me, Serena."
"Of course, I don't want to see any place destroyed in which I might have spent at least part
of my life in, if at all possible, Sylvia, but I realize that I might. I suspect that even Rainbow Springs
will be destroyed here on the Moon. As might Moon City on the other side of the Moon. But if so,
I don't think I'll be awake when the last bit of Moon City is destroyed. For I really think I'll quite
possibly already be asleep in the sky near Darien when it is."
"You and Darien together forever, perhaps?"
"I suppose you might say that, Sylvia."
"And what do you think about that possibility, if it ever comes to pass, Serena?"
"I'd probably love it. I don't know yet well enough if I'd really want to live without my honey,
if I didn't have to, Sylvia, though. I also strongly suspect that, if at all possible, I'll be in a state of
dormancy at least twice or three times in my life, if not more. Once when we're transferred to Earth,
and at least once after we are. I have this strange feeling, Sylvia, that while Crystal Tokyo is in the
process of being built, I and others will be spending at least part, if not all, of a period of dormancy
either elsewhere on Earth, or elsewhere in our own solar system. I'm not sure which. But if that
attack comes to pass against Tokyo while we're in our second period of dormancy, and we're there,
I think that we might be sent either to some other part of Earth or to somewhere else in our solar
system. I believe if that eventually does come to pass for us someday, it'll then be the case for our own
goods, quite possibly. And that if that's the case, it'll be that way just because if we'd actually stay
where we'd been, we'd most likely not be able to eventually find ourselves in the 30th Century."
"And do you think that he'd like the possibility that you'd be together forever?"
"I hope that he might, at least, but I don't know if he'd like that possibility yet, if I ever will,
Sylvia. I don't think he'd mind it, but I'm not sure yet, if I'll ever be sure about such a thing."
"Even if he sometimes calls you something that I've sometimes heard Raye call you before,
you think that you'd not mind spending forever with him, if at all possible?"
"Yes, even if he ever actually calls me a 'Meatball Head' again, I really don't think that I'd
mind spending forever with him, if at all possible."
"You wouldn't?"
"I don't think I would, Sylvia. Yes, I know he's quite a bit older than me. But I still care for
him very much. And I know he does the same, somehow. Even though it may be very possible that
I care for him a whole lot more than he does for me."
"You mean because you're loud and boisterous, most, if not all, the time, and he's not?"
"I suppose you could say that. I'm sure that there are things that he doesn't really like about
me, and vice versa. But I feel that we have a strong enough friendship to maybe allow us to consider
marrying each other someday in the future. Though I don't know yet when that day would be, if it
ever comes to us, of course. I certainly won't jump the gun and have Rini conceived or born when
we're not yet married to each other, if I can possibly avoid it, Sylvia."
"I see. And I suppose Darien doesn't yet know this, Serena."
"Nope. And I hope that we never have to worry about such things in the future, if we ever do
fall in love with each other, Sylvia."
"You're already in love with him, Serena."
"No, I'm not. Just because I talk a lot about him and want to be around him so much, Sylvia,
that doesn't mean that I'm in love with him at yet."
"Maybe not. But the time will come, if your dreams and/or visions are accurate enough in
their respective natures, I'm sure, that you'll eventually be unquestionably in love with him, if you're
not already, Serena. For I've seen it happen to many a young girl or woman like us in my life.
Granted, neither you nor I may yet be in love with certain Princes from my world. But if we're not,
I think we eventually will be. God willing, of course, Serena."
"Meaning you might fall for Rolando, and I might fall for Darien, if we each haven't yet fallen
for either or both of them?"
"Exactly, Serena. I seem to see him a lot in my dreams and/or visions. Just as you seem to
do the same thing in yours with Darien. I feel that there is a very good possibility that we'll each fall
for one of them by the likely end of your Moon Kingdom, Serena. I don't know when, where, and
how, of course. But I think that is the case, nevertheless, Serena Moon. And if so, then I think there
may be a very good chance that we'll each marry one of them, if it's truly God's will that we do so,
someday yet in the future for us both. I don't know how good those chances are, in fact. But I just
know that they might come to pass well enough for us both, if it's God's will that they do so, Serena."
Then Serena and Sylvia got up from where they were sitting now in the room they'd earlier
materialized in. And they gathered up all their things again, because there were other things that
they'd want or need to do again before they had their breakfasts in the main dining hall of the
Rainbow Springs Palace. They continued their conversation a bit longer as they did those things.
And after a few more minutes had passed in that room, Sylvia then left Serena alone in it again.
Serena watched her Earth friend leave the room. And then she soon exited the room herself.
Serena then went as quickly as she could to her chambers. And she soon took a short shower
before she left her chambers for the main dining hall. She spent at least a few minutes after her short
shower doing her hair, of course. And then a few minutes doing whatever else came to her mind
while she was still in her Rainbow Springs Palace chambers.
She showed up in the main dining hall a few minutes, at most, before other Princesses and
both cats would've begun doing the same thing, if they hadn't already. And she then began putting
things on all the necessary tables, whether or not other Princesses had already begun doing that as
well, in the main dining hall. By the time that she was done doing that, at least, everyone else was
now in the main dining hall, if they'd not already been in it when she herself had earlier arrived in it.
Everyone except Serena then took their proper seats in that main dining hall, if they hadn't yet
done so. And eventually she'd dished out some food and drink for everyone now with her in the
Rainbow Springs Palace's main dining hall. After which she then did the same for herself, of course.
With that done here, she then took her own seat in the main dining hall, so that she too could eat her
own breakfast in it. After she sat down, she then soon said the required blessing over all the food and
drink that she'd just put on all the appropriate enough tables in the main dining hall for a few
moments. That done, she finally did let everyone else begin consuming their respective breakfasts,
of course.
As usual, much conversation was often made as everyone at those tables consumed their
respective meals, of course. Not as much as they normally would make, in fact. But still a
considerable amount nevertheless. They spent quite a bit of time in conversation, but most of the
time, they remained rather quiet. This was mainly, if not entirely, just because they were now trying
to focus their minds on their upcoming training sessions, after having been away from them for at
least a few hours, outside of their normal sleeping periods, of course.
Eventually, if not immediately, then, they all finished each of their respective breakfasts. And
after they'd taken all their dirty dishes to the necessary area of the main dining hall, Serena soon
dismissed them from it. She did that just so they then could prepare to train again anywhere on the
grounds of the Rainbow Springs Palace, of course.
And then she soon left the main dining hall to do the same thing, in due time. She went to her
chambers for a while, and then she spent some time napping. Not all of the time remaining to her in
terms of her free time before her next training session, of course. But still most of it after she returned
to her chambers elsewhere in the Rainbow Springs Palace, just the same, as was often the case for
here, in fact.
She did this until just before she was going to have to leave her chambers again, so that she
could train again as a Sailor Scout elsewhere on the Rainbow Springs Palace's grounds. She woke
up about five minutes before she'd have to leave her chambers again, when another Princess knocked
on her door. This Princess was Princess Gwendolyn. Winnie reminded her that she'd have to begin
training again in very short order, after Serena woke up moments before, due to her knocking on
Serena's door. Serena said, "Understood, Winnie. Will be in the South Courtyard shortly. I'll catch
you later, then."
Serena then hurried out of her bed, and quickly got ready to train again as a Sailor Scout. A
minute before she'd have to leave her chambers again, Serena then burst out of them, slamming the
door of them quite loudly as she did so. And as she did so, she also began transforming herself into
Junior Sailor Moon, so as not to waste any unnecessary time in getting ready to train again as such
a Sailor Scout. Then she literally flew down the required hallways she'd need to take in the palace
to get to the South Courtyard on its grounds. She was in it no more than five minutes after leaving
her chambers like she did. It was, in fact, just about three to five minutes quicker than she normally
would take to get to that place on the palace's grounds, on good days for her. Because of that fact, it
then seemed to Mercury and Mars, when they saw her enter the palace's South Courtyard, that she
was in a very good mood at the current time.
Mars soon said, now quite surprised here, "Wow, Moon! You got here about twice as fast as
you normally do! I wonder why!"
"I'll tell you later, if I can, and if I feel like it. But are you ready to rumble with Junior Sailor
Neptune Alpha today, Mars?"
"I've mainly been training with Junior Sailor Saturn Alpha, Moon. Why change my training
partner now?"
"So that you don't get into too much of a rut with your training. I'm going to be taking on
Jupiter Beta for today at least, Mars. Of course, that'll mean that everyone else will change their
training partners here on the Rainbow Springs Palace's grounds for as long as I deem necessary.
Mercury, would you mind taking on your sister?"
"I could do that, Serena, but what good will that do?"
"I see your point. Your attacks are rather similar to each other, at least for the most part. All
right, I'm pairing you up with Uranus Alpha, then, if that's all right with you."
"Might as well. You're going to pair us up as you see fit anyway, Moon. So I suppose I could
train with her today, at least, Moon."
Then, if the other Scouts weren't yet present in the South Courtyard at that time, she paired
them up when they arrived close enough to her in it. She didn't pair up the same people as she had
shortly after she'd last come to the Rainbow Springs Palace with Sentinel Serenity some time before.
Everyone had new partners, at least for the current day. Even Junior Sailor Skyhorse, who'd primarily
been training against Junior Sailor Neptune Gamma, got a new partner, with that new partner being
Junior Sailor Mercury Beta. After each pair of training partners had been chosen for both of that day's
training sessions, Moon then sent each pair, not counting herself and her newest training partner, of
course, to another part of the palace's grounds. That was so they could all train with each other far
enough away from other pairs who were also doing the same thing elsewhere on it.
From Moon on down, the members of her team faced other Scouts as she saw fit. Moon took
on Jupiter Beta. Mercury took on Uranus Alpha. Mars took on Neptune Alpha. Jupiter took on
Venus Beta. Venus then took on Mars Beta. Corona and Saturn Alpha faced off as well. Eclipse met
Neptune Gamma. Pluto Beta did the same for Saturn Gamma, Uranus Beta did the same for Pluto
Alpha, and Neptune Beta was to train with Uranus Gamma. That left Saturn Beta to face off against
Pluto Gamma, and Skyhorse to meet up with Mercury Beta, of course.
After all the necessary pairings had been made, Moon soon had everyone begin training
wherever they'd all have to be. And she also began training herself, of course. For at least the next
two or three hours, if not longer than that, then, every single one of the Scouts then trained in the
necessary parts of the Rainbow Springs Palace, until Moon and Neptune Alpha eventually decided
to end those training sessions for at least a few hours, for the obvious reasons, of course. When they
did, they soon had their fellow Scouts power down, and transform themselves all out of their
respective Sailor Scout states of being.
Hours later, after some free time for all the Princesses, and after a longer lunch period than
normal, all the Princesses began training again with each other as Sailor Scouts for quite some time.
They then did this until they felt they could no longer do so during the current day. After which they
soon had the rest of the day or night free, of course. Many of them retired rather soon after supper was
over. And they then crashed, in a manner of speaking, into their beds for quite a few hours, if they
did retire to their chambers rather soon after supper was over.
Much of the next two or three weeks went much the same way for many, if not all, of the
Princesses now secretly training as Sailor Scouts on the Rainbow Springs Palace's grounds. Even
until just before December 21, 986, much of the time they spent on that palace's grounds training as
Sailor Scouts went basically the same way as it had starting on Lita's birthday, if not all of it, for
many, if not all, of the Princesses who were now doing that training of themselves as Sailor Scouts.
In the next chapter for this story, the Scouts and many others will be going on a holiday break
for a while from their training, in fact. That break's length will be revealed later, if not in this nest
chapter for this story, readers. But for you to know all of what will go on in the next chapter, you'll
all just have to wait and see. And you probably will need or want to review here for this story if you
want it to be uploaded quicker than it has been of late, I think.
Serena and many others will be in this story's next chapter, as well, people. How so? You'll
all just have to read to find out, readers! I really do hope that you've enjoyed the first two stories in
this particular story series, and the first eighteen chapters of this third story, if you've actually gotten
this far. And that you'll all continue to read its related story series, of course, once I put even more
of it up here. The last seven chapters after the next one of this third story in the series will be up
shortly, if at all possible, readers, for your information. I really don't know yet just how long it'll still
take me to get each story in this series up fully here. But it might take a while for each story in this
series, just the same, readers. Until later, then, this is "The Universal Storyteller" signing off here.
Happy reading, and God bless, and all that, of course, readers! Over and out!
now have on fanfiction.net will apply. For your information, all of the characters that you may not
actually recognize well enough in this story are original characters of mine, unless otherwise
stated, in fact. So please don't steal my original characters from this story or any others, for that
matter.
Now without any further ado, let's get on with the next chapter of this story of mine here, if
that's all right with you here, readers. Please do read, review, and enjoy, if at all possible, quite
naturally enough, readers!

super-powerful device of some kind. After a time, if such a thing ever happens, I suspect a new
Tokyo will eventually rise from the resulting ashes, if there are any ashes from its previous destruction
that last at least that long, by the time that we awake again from our sleeping in our containers. I

you think that you'd not mind spending forever with him, if at all possible?"
"Yes, even if he ever actually calls me a 'Meatball Head' again, I really don't think that I'd
mind spending forever with him, if at all possible."
"You wouldn't?"
"I don't think I would, Sylvia. Yes, I know he's quite a bit older than me. But I still care for
him very much. And I know he does the same, somehow. Even though it may be very possible that
I care for him a whole lot more than he does for me."
"You mean because you're loud and boisterous, most, if not all, the time, and he's not?"
"I suppose you could say that. I'm sure that there are things that he doesn't really like about
me, and vice versa. But I feel that we have a strong enough friendship to maybe allow us to consider
marrying each other someday in the future. Though I don't know yet when that day would be, if it
ever comes to us, of course. I certainly won't jump the gun and have Rini conceived or born when
we're not yet married to each other, if I can possibly avoid it, Sylvia."
"I see. And I suppose Darien doesn't yet know this, Serena."
"Nope. And I hope that we never have to worry about such things in the future, if we ever do
fall in love with each other, Sylvia."
"You're already in love with him, Serena."
"No, I'm not. Just because I talk a lot about him and want to be around him so much, Sylvia,
that doesn't mean that I'm in love with him at yet."
"Maybe not. But the time will come, if your dreams and/or visions are accurate enough in
their respective natures, I'm sure, that you'll eventually be unquestionably in love with him, if you're
not already, Serena. For I've seen it happen to many a young girl or woman like us in my life.
Granted, neither you nor I may yet be in love with certain Princes from my world. But if we're not,
I think we eventually will be. God willing, of course, Serena."
"Meaning you might fall for Rolando, and I might fall for Darien, if we each haven't yet fallen
for either or both of them?"
"Exactly, Serena. I seem to see him a lot in my dreams and/or visions. Just as you seem to
do the same thing in yours with Darien. I feel that there is a very good possibility that we'll each fall
for one of them by the likely end of your Moon Kingdom, Serena. I don't know when, where, and
how, of course. But I think that is the case, nevertheless, Serena Moon. And if so, then I think there
may be a very good chance that we'll each marry one of them, if it's truly God's will that we do so,
someday yet in the future for us both. I don't know how good those chances are, in fact. But I just
know that they might come to pass well enough for us both, if it's God's will that they do so, Serena."
Then Serena and Sylvia got up from where they were sitting now in the room they'd earlier
materialized in. And they gathered up all their things again, because there were other things that
they'd want or need to do again before they had their breakfasts in the main dining hall of the
Rainbow Springs Palace. They continued their conversation a bit longer as they did those things.
And after a few more minutes had passed in that room, Sylvia then left Serena alone in it again.
Serena watched her Earth friend leave the room. And then she soon exited the room herself.
Serena then went as quickly as she could to her chambers. And she soon took a short shower
before she left her chambers for the main dining hall. She spent at least a few minutes after her short
shower doing her hair, of course. And then a few minutes doing whatever else came to her mind
while she was still in her Rainbow Springs Palace chambers.
She showed up in the main dining hall a few minutes, at most, before other Princesses and
both cats would've begun doing the same thing, if they hadn't already. And she then began putting
things on all the necessary tables, whether or not other Princesses had already begun doing that as
well, in the main dining hall. By the time that she was done doing that, at least, everyone else was
now in the main dining hall, if they'd not already been in it when she herself had earlier arrived in it.
Everyone except Serena then took their proper seats in that main dining hall, if they hadn't yet
done so. And eventually she'd dished out some food and drink for everyone now with her in the
Rainbow Springs Palace's main dining hall. After which she then did the same for herself, of course.
With that done here, she then took her own seat in the main dining hall, so that she too could eat her
own breakfast in it. After she sat down, she then soon said the required blessing over all the food and
drink that she'd just put on all the appropriate enough tables in the main dining hall for a few
moments. That done, she finally did let everyone else begin consuming their respective breakfasts,
of course.
As usual, much conversation was often made as everyone at those tables consumed their
respective meals, of course. Not as much as they normally would make, in fact. But still a
considerable amount nevertheless. They spent quite a bit of time in conversation, but most of the
time, they remained rather quiet. This was mainly, if not entirely, just because they were now trying
to focus their minds on their upcoming training sessions, after having been away from them for at
least a few hours, outside of their normal sleeping periods, of course.
Eventually, if not immediately, then, they all finished each of their respective breakfasts. And
after they'd taken all their dirty dishes to the necessary area of the main dining hall, Serena soon
dismissed them from it. She did that just so they then could prepare to train again anywhere on the
grounds of the Rainbow Springs Palace, of course.
And then she soon left the main dining hall to do the same thing, in due time. She went to her
chambers for a while, and then she spent some time napping. Not all of the time remaining to her in
terms of her free time before her next training session, of course. But still most of it after she returned
to her chambers elsewhere in the Rainbow Springs Palace, just the same, as was often the case for
here, in fact.
She did this until just before she was going to have to leave her chambers again, so that she
could train again as a Sailor Scout elsewhere on the Rainbow Springs Palace's grounds. She woke
up about five minutes before she'd have to leave her chambers again, when another Princess knocked
on her door. This Princess was Princess Gwendolyn. Winnie reminded her that she'd have to begin
training again in very short order, after Serena woke up moments before, due to her knocking on
Serena's door. Serena said, "Understood, Winnie. Will be in the South Courtyard shortly. I'll catch
you later, then."
Serena then hurried out of her bed, and quickly got ready to train again as a Sailor Scout. A
minute before she'd have to leave her chambers again, Serena then burst out of them, slamming the
door of them quite loudly as she did so. And as she did so, she also began transforming herself into
Junior Sailor Moon, so as not to waste any unnecessary time in getting ready to train again as such
a Sailor Scout. Then she literally flew down the required hallways she'd need to take in the palace
to get to the South Courtyard on its grounds. She was in it no more than five minutes after leaving
her chambers like she did. It was, in fact, just about three to five minutes quicker than she normally
would take to get to that place on the palace's grounds, on good days for her. Because of that fact, it
then seemed to Mercury and Mars, when they saw her enter the palace's South Courtyard, that she
was in a very good mood at the current time.
Mars soon said, now quite surprised here, "Wow, Moon! You got here about twice as fast as
you normally do! I wonder why!"
"I'll tell you later, if I can, and if I feel like it. But are you ready to rumble with Junior Sailor
Neptune Alpha today, Mars?"
"I've mainly been training with Junior Sailor Saturn Alpha, Moon. Why change my training
partner now?"
"So that you don't get into too much of a rut with your training. I'm going to be taking on
Jupiter Beta for today at least, Mars. Of course, that'll mean that everyone else will change their
training partners here on the Rainbow Springs Palace's grounds for as long as I deem necessary.
Mercury, would you mind taking on your sister?"
"I could do that, Serena, but what good will that do?"
"I see your point. Your attacks are rather similar to each other, at least for the most part. All
right, I'm pairing you up with Uranus Alpha, then, if that's all right with you."
"Might as well. You're going to pair us up as you see fit anyway, Moon. So I suppose I could
train with her today, at least, Moon."
Then, if the other Scouts weren't yet present in the South Courtyard at that time, she paired
them up when they arrived close enough to her in it. She didn't pair up the same people as she had
shortly after she'd last come to the Rainbow Springs Palace with Sentinel Serenity some time before.
Everyone had new partners, at least for the current day. Even Junior Sailor Skyhorse, who'd primarily
been training against Junior Sailor Neptune Gamma, got a new partner, with that new partner being
Junior Sailor Mercury Beta. After each pair of training partners had been chosen for both of that day's
training sessions, Moon then sent each pair, not counting herself and her newest training partner, of
course, to another part of the palace's grounds. That was so they could all train with each other far
enough away from other pairs who were also doing the same thing elsewhere on it.
From Moon on down, the members of her team faced other Scouts as she saw fit. Moon took
on Jupiter Beta. Mercury took on Uranus Alpha. Mars took on Neptune Alpha. Jupiter took on
Venus Beta. Venus then took on Mars Beta. Corona and Saturn Alpha faced off as well. Eclipse met
Neptune Gamma. Pluto Beta did the same for Saturn Gamma, Uranus Beta did the same for Pluto
Alpha, and Neptune Beta was to train with Uranus Gamma. That left Saturn Beta to face off against
Pluto Gamma, and Skyhorse to meet up with Mercury Beta, of course.
After all the necessary pairings had been made, Moon soon had everyone begin training
wherever they'd all have to be. And she also began training herself, of course. For at least the next
two or three hours, if not longer than that, then, every single one of the Scouts then trained in the
necessary parts of the Rainbow Springs Palace, until Moon and Neptune Alpha eventually decided
to end those training sessions for at least a few hours, for the obvious reasons, of course. When they
did, they soon had their fellow Scouts power down, and transform themselves all out of their
respective Sailor Scout states of being.
Hours later, after some free time for all the Princesses, and after a longer lunch period than
normal, all the Princesses began training again with each other as Sailor Scouts for quite some time.
They then did this until they felt they could no longer do so during the current day. After which they
soon had the rest of the day or night free, of course. Many of them retired rather soon after supper was
over. And they then crashed, in a manner of speaking, into their beds for quite a few hours, if they
did retire to their chambers rather soon after supper was over.
Much of the next two or three weeks went much the same way for many, if not all, of the
Princesses now secretly training as Sailor Scouts on the Rainbow Springs Palace's grounds. Even
until just before December 21, 986, much of the time they spent on that palace's grounds training as
Sailor Scouts went basically the same way as it had starting on Lita's birthday, if not all of it, for
many, if not all, of the Princesses who were now doing that training of themselves as Sailor Scouts.
In the next chapter for this story, the Scouts and many others will be going on a holiday break
for a while from their training, in fact. That break's length will be revealed later, if not in this nest
chapter for this story, readers. But for you to know all of what will go on in the next chapter, you'll
all just have to wait and see. And you probably will need or want to review here for this story if you
want it to be uploaded quicker than it has been of late, I think.
Serena and many others will be in this story's next chapter, as well, people. How so? You'll
all just have to read to find out, readers! I really do hope that you've enjoyed the first two stories in
this particular story series, and the first eighteen chapters of this third story, if you've actually gotten
this far. And that you'll all continue to read its related story series, of course, once I put even more
of it up here. The last seven chapters after the next one of this third story in the series will be up
shortly, if at all possible, readers, for your information. I really don't know yet just how long it'll still
take me to get each story in this series up fully here. But it might take a while for each story in this
series, just the same, readers. Until later, then, this is "The Universal Storyteller" signing off here.
Happy reading, and God bless, and all that, of course, readers! Over and out!
